The main features of the PHP scripting language include the following:
Open Source
PHP is an open source language and is freely available for use. The
community of open source PHP developers provides technical support
and is constantly improving updating the core PHP functionalities.
The PHP Extension and Application Repository system provides and maintains
a library of PHP code packages that are available for use. The packages
can include functions such as authentication, caching, destructors,
encryption, error handling etc.
Compatability
PHP provides high compatibility with leading operating systems and
web servers such as thereby enabling it to be easily deployed across
several different platforms.
File Handling
PHP be used to read text and generate files in
various formats such as PDF and XML. Using the file manipulation
functions, files and documents can be uploaded and stored on the
server. The uploaded documents can be accessed and manipulated through
PHP code. PHP can be used to access flat files and perform basic
file and directory maintenance tasks thereby enabling files/documents
to be edited remotely.
Improved Performance
The PHP complier includes features to optimize
and improve the quality of compiled code by reducing the size execution
time of the code thereby leading to improved performance. The compiled
PHP code can be cached using various PHP accelerators such as xcache,
eAccelerator etc thereby reducing time spent in parsing and compiling
the code every time.
Debuggers
Several debuggers are available with PHP enabling
developers to identify and analyze the code for potential bugs and
bottlenecks.
Sessions
PHP provides extensive session and cookie management
features and functions enabling the creation and development of
personalized web pages.
Graphics
PHP can be used to generate images and graphics
dynamically. Using the image functionalities available with PHP,
the header information of images can be accessed and manipulated.
The GD library of PHP includes a host of features and functionalities
that can be used to create images in various formats such as gif,
jpeg and png.
Extensible
The source code of PHP can be modified to include
custom created extensions and components thereby increasing its
extensibility.
ADVANTAGES:
PHP application development offers the following benefits and advantages
over application development in other server side scripting languages:
Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) is a cross platform open source server
side scripting language that can be used to generate dynamic and interactive
web pages. PHP scripts or codes can be embedded within HTML pages.
When a request is sent for a PHP page, the server parses and executes
the code and returns the output as plain HTML. PHP scripts can be
written to interact with databases and include a host of database
connectivity features providing support for a wide range of platforms
such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL etc. PHP can
be used to create web applications ranging from personal websites
to e-commerce applications and community web portals i.e. disucssion
forums, blogs etc. Apart from web applications and server side scripting,
PHP can be used for command-line scripting and client-side GUI application
development.
PHP is based on an Object Oriented Architecture and most of its features,
concepts and syntax are based on the C and Perl programming languages.
Being an open source language, a large number of libraries and extensions,
to extend its core functionalities, are available for download. PHP
extensions include support for features such as XML parsing, compression
utilities, dynamic generation of images, translation functions etc.
PHP scripts can run across operating systems such as Linux, Windows,
Solaris, OpenBSD, Mac OSX etc and also provide support for all major
web servers such as Apache, IIS, iPlanet etc.
